Oooh, friends to lovers, you gotta love it. Navaya is an erotica writer whose reviews are plummeting. She’s been single for far too long and asks her longtime best friend, Xander, to get her writer juices flowing again (Adams’s words, not mine, okay?). But of course it turns into more than just a simple, one-time physical thing. So good! So fun!


Delightful.

Not my favorite of the series, but this does get bonus points for the mental health and anxiety discussions.

Swoooooooooooooon.

John Green’s latest book, The Fault in Our Stars, is his best. Don’t believe me? You probably haven’t read it. And you should probably go check out the New York Times bestseller list or some more prestigious book reviewers.

The story is essentially about teenagers with cancer. Depressing, right? You probably don’t want to torture yourself with reading it, because you know you’ll cry at least once. Read it anyway.

Abby Norman suffers through undiagnosed endometriosis for years. Her leg goes numb, she loses 30 pounds, and when she goes to a doctor, she’s sent home with antibiotics. She knows her pain is real, not “all in her head,” so she starts digging through medical journals to find her own diagnosis. But doctors never believe her, thinking she’s too young and naive to really understand her body the way a medical professional can. A truly eye-opening read about gender bias in the medical community.
